Front End Loading Resource - Earth Moving Equipment Project Engineer | Heavy Mobile Equipment We are looking for a Project Engineer or Project Manager with strong heavy mobile equipment experience to support the early development of mining projects from initial concept through to investment approval.

This is a Brisbane based position working within a team responsible for completing the Front End Loading and project development work required before projects are handed across to the execution team.

The role is particularly suited to someone with practical mining project experience who understands heavy earth moving equipment and can develop explicit project documentation, scopes, estimates and business cases.

The Role You will work with operational, maintenance, engineering and project stakeholders to define and develop heavy mobile equipment projects through the early project phases.

Key responsibilities will include:

Developing project business cases

Preparing project scopes of work

Building project schedules

Developing project cost estimates

Preparing project documentation and supporting reports

Completing investment approval documentation and requests

Working with stakeholders to define project requirements

Identifying project risks, constraints and dependencies

Developing projects through the Front End Loading process

Supporting options analysis and project justification

Coordinating input from operations, maintenance, engineering and commercial stakeholders

Ensuring projects are sufficiently developed before handover to execution teams

About You The key requirement for this role is strong experience with mining heavy mobile equipment.

You will ideally have experience with equipment such as:

Haul trucks





Excavators

Dozers

Graders

Loaders

Ancillary mining equipment

Other heavy earth moving equipment

You will also ideally have:

Experience working within mining, resources or heavy industry

Project Engineering or Project Management experience

The ability to work across operations, maintenance, engineering and project teams

Good commercial and analytical capability

The ability to take an early stage project and develop it into a clearly defined scope for execution

Experience with Front End Loading, capital project development, investment approval processes or major mobile equipment projects will be highly regarded.

This role does not require someone to be a senior Project Manager.

We are open to Project Engineers, Project Managers or similar professionals who have the right combination of heavy mobile equipment knowledge, project development experience and strong written communication skills.

Why Consider This Opportunity This is an opportunity to work on major mining equipment projects from the earliest stages of development and have a direct influence on how projects are scoped, justified and prepared for execution.

The position is Brisbane based and provides exposure to heavy mobile equipment projects across a large mining operation.

If you have strong mining equipment experience and enjoy the project development, planning and business case side of project delivery, we would like to hear from you.
